Not normally a fan of green cars, but...

Just seen this X4 in Individual Verde Ermes Metallic on Autotrader.

Green exterior, cream interior and just getting a "baby Bentley" vibe. Of course that would rapidly dissipate when the 4 pot 2litre diesel was fired up!

I like Malachite . Look great on the X3MC with the Black with Midrand Beige Bicolour Merino Leather/Alcantara seats.

Ha ha, looks like the same photo location, so guessing same dealer - someone there likes specifying these cars!

Can't do it. My dad's 1969 Chevy Impala and 1972 Cutlass Supreme were the same color (at no extra charge back then).

I'll take your individual greens listed above (which are great by the way) and raise you this Urban Green, which belongs to forum member Beamer25_2 its a stunning example in my opinion.

It’s almost a British racing green from the old Jags.

Isle of Man… best Green there is. I’ve built it several times on the configurator… just don’t know if I could pull the trigger on it or not.

Malachite and Urban green are my preferred ones (mainly because I like it a little understated), the others are a little too strong for me. Verde Ermes looks muted here but I have seen photos in the sun which are quite different.

Also some colors you can pull off better on a 3/4 series but not on a SUV. Just my opinion again.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Let’s also give some consideration to Manhattan Green as well. Love it on the X5 and if I’m ever forced into one, that’s what I want.

Malachite green

The malachite green suits the X3 very well in combination with the tartufo interieur.

Thank you!

Those are Hamann Anniversary Black Line Evo in 21inch including 15mm Spacers in the Front and 12 mm in the rear. Also Eibach Pro Kit springs, which lowers the car for 25mm.
